Surprisingly this had been taped over the first generation show of 6th September 1989 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/06_September_1989 and there was a continuous portion of the end of that show in higher SQ than the original edited file. So the file has been updated and extended. Even more surprisingly once that show ended, it turned out that there was a bit of the end of 17th August 1989 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/17_August_1989 on the tape! So that show has also been updated and extended. R073 contained 76 minutes of 1st February 1990 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/01_February_1990 with The Fall in repeat session, and John is forced on to the defensive by a call on the Mayo phone. But not all is as it seems.... R073 also contained a nice surprise at the end, with a new first generation end of 19th July 1989 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/19_July_1989 so that's another file upgrade for y'all. Must go back through the earlier tapes now to make sure I've not missed any more show endings. Thanks also to JohnPeel3904 for helping out with the unknowns Stuart From ford.alan@...

Can you pass on my HUGE thanks to the uploader?  I can't seem to directly post to the group. For clarification, the first session track on Side two from The Belle Stars is 'Big Blonde'. I can now only hope there's another tape out there somewhere with the other two (?) tracks from the Richard Skinner session!

The first 3 tracks are almost certainly from the Skinner show fearturing a repeat of the Au Pairs session from 12th January, so might be from earlier on 10th March. Funny how bands recorded almost identical sessions for Skinner and Peel just a few days apart in these days! Side B is indeed from the 30th and ends speculation about one of Mark's mixtapes. Again preceded by a bit of Skinner and a couple of nice Belle Stars session tracks there. The Endgames session is now complete for the Peel show of the 30th, I had a few of their slightly later singles on my mixtapes but they sound a bit more B-Movie esque here. All in all a great selection. The Lennon track doesn't sound like the standard version though I wonder if that's because I've never heard it in such lo fi before! Stuart From stuartb@...

As a filmmaker and editor, I had a bit of success with a documentary I made in 2010 about the last surviving DJ from the first black-owned station in the US... WERD-AM... which was here in Atlanta and signed on in 1949.  At the time they called it "Negro Format" ... and these stations were crucial to the advancement of civil rights (white listeners could check out real-deal R&B and learn of a rich culture their parents were claiming was trash.) This particular DJ, James "Alley Pat" Patrick (of black Irish roots,) was on the air here from 1951 to 1989. He played great, new music all the time (sound familiar?) and best of all, had a big fat mouth. My film, "Alley Pat: The Music Is Recorded," is his story. It came in 1st Place at both the Kansas City and Atlanta Film Festivals. As it is full of terrific tracks I have not had the $$ to license, I can't sell it or air it.... but I can give it away to... well... all ya'll.

Mark ________________________________ From: Dave Thompson To: "peel@yahoogroups.com" Sent: Sunday, 22 December 2013, 14:04 Subject: [peel] Shirley Collins 1969 Top Gear   There's no surviving recording of it that I'm aware of, but here are some memories of the joint Shirley Collins/Tinderbox session from March 1969. (Taken from the Steve Ashley "Fire & Wine" book that I wrote earlier this year) When Shirley Collins was booked for a BBC Radio session, Tinderbox - Steve Ashley and Dave Menday - were called up alongside her, both as accompanists and performers in their own right. Shirley: “I liked Steve’s ‘English’ quality in both his singing and song-writing—at a time when most people were trying to sound as American as they could. And there was an intelligence and integrity there too, which has, of course, lasted throughout his life. So that would have been why [producer] John Marshall and I asked Steve to sing both for the broadcast and on Anthems [although] I’m sorry to say I have no recollection of the John Peel session at all!” Strangely, neither does Dave Menday.  “Apart from being honoured, flattered and scared at being asked to accompany Shirley, when her last accompanist had been Davy Graham, the only other thing I remember is being in the lift with John Walters, Peel’s producer, when at one of the floors in Broadcasting House in stepped Victor Sylvester the 30s/40s dance band leader in full white tie and dinner jacket gear. “  Dave, already in thrall to the sound of those bands, was thrilled. “I’d always been a bit of a fan, although it wasn’t something to admit at the time!” Compounding the broadcast’s obscurity in the minds of its participants,the broadcast tapes of this session were lost long ago. Dave laughs, “ I hope I did Shirley justice, but can’t remember what we did. I do remember listening to it on our little transistor radio at home, and being pleased it had gone out on air.” Recording at the BBC’s Maida Vale studios on January 28, for broadcast on March 5, Tinderbox performed eight songs in total, three with Collins (”Nelly The Milkmaid,” “Ramble Away” and “Lowlands,” the first and last taken from the still gestating Anthems in Eden), and five in their own right—”Fire And Wine,” “Oliver Woodworm,” “Dreamsong,” “The Finite Time” and a brand new addition to the songbook, “The Spirit Of Christmas.” "It was shortly before Christmas 1968, as I was wandering through Rochester.. As I remember, the tune came into my head and I had no instrument to help me keep it there. So I just kept singing it to myself and it became very mesmeric. It took all day to write the words and my obsession with these left me no time for food, so I was high as a kite on hunger by the end of the day.  “It still carries that spirit for me on the rare occasions that I perform it today. Dave worked out a great guitar part and I played the whistle. We’ve recorded it three times; the first for John Peel’s Nightride in 1969, the second time was during the first Stroll On LP sessions in 1971 and the third, a live version thirty-five years later at my sixtieth birthday concert. Apart from that, I usually sing it on Christmas Eve.” “The Christmas Song is one of the best songs Steve’s ever written,” Dave Menday agrees. “It is the only song of his that I still sing myself, and I’m pleased to have contributed something to the arrangement. It’s tricky to play in that 2/4 time signature and those others who have tried to do it in a straight 4/4 lose the essence of the song.  “There’s not a word I would quibble with or change. It evokes the emotional and social coming together of that time of year like no other song does and presents those ideas through stunningly precise visual imagery. Its universality is secured because it is uncoloured by the ignorance and superstition of religion, or the greed and exploitation of commercial frenzy that usually accompany Christmas festivities. A gem.” This particular version, the first recording, Steve remembers as being “particularly special. Sometimes you can get the rhythm and pitch right, but not quite catch the spirit of a song, but with that recording of ‘Spirit of Christmas,’ I remember it being just right. I had a copy of it for a while but it disappeared, so I have nothing to go by except my memory of it—and an appreciative comment from John Curl, who took over from Peel after midnight.  “’Fire and Wine’ was good too. In those days, Dave played the guitar part and I sang it and played a tambourine. ‘That was quite pleasant really’ said John Peel afterwards.  “We also played a daft song called ‘Oliver Woodworm.’ I played autoharp on this one and it was all about the woodworm that was in the instrument. ‘Nasty little mole working in the dark, trying to make a hole in my autoharp, hoping that my autoharp will fall apart’. That was the general gist of it. The chorus was:  Oliver Woodworm boring all the day Please be good worm and bore yourself away. “It got faster and faster until it became impossible to keep playing. We should have recorded it really. Dave had a nice one too called ‘Dream Song’ and we did ‘Finite Time’ as well. We backed Shirley on ‘Nellie the Milkmaid,’ with Dave on guitar and me playing whistle, and we also sang ‘Lowlands Away’ with her. Then Dave accompanied Shirley on guitar for ‘Ramble Away’”  From numbernine@... Fri Jan 10 13:16:07 2014 From: numbernine@... (numbernine@...)

Just a couple of points to add, relative to the extract from Steve Ashley's book: - I see now only today that my session air date listing in the sessionography is wrong, though I have ti correctly in the shows chronology: this session was broadcast on the 5th of February 1969, not the 5th of March, 8 days after it was recorded. - the sessions as not recorded in Maida Vale, but at S1 in the sub-basement of Broadcasting House. - this explains Dave Menday's memory of being in the lift at BH, although the producer called 'John' he recalls, would not have been John Walters,but John F Muir, producer of Peel's NIGHT RIDE at the time, and who confirmed to me when I researched the book all this years ago that he had produced this one himself. - because most of John F Muir's tapes were taken and wiped after he left Radio 1, it is extremely unlikely that the original tapes of this session survive, though I will pass this query on to John (my friend John Cavanagh is in regular contact with him). - what is more likely is that an off-air recording of the show exists somewhere, as this was still the FM Night Ride slot after midnight on 5 March 1969, and indeed may already have sufficed and be in existence somewhere!

A gem.” > This particular version, the first recording, Steve remembers as being “particularly special. Sometimes you can get the rhythm and pitch right, but not quite catch the spirit of a song, but with that recording of ‘Spirit of Christmas,’ I remember it being just right.

That was the general gist of it. The chorus was:  > > Oliver Woodworm boring all the day > Please be good worm and bore yourself away. > > “It got faster and faster until it became impossible to keep playing.

Please pass on my immense thanks to Martin for going to all that trouble to create these mp3s. I know I have always been in a bit of a minority being such a massive Belle Stars fan but to hear these 'lost' tracks after so many years and coming across recordings that I didn't even know existed is just fantastic. I really do appreciate the trouble everyone has gone to making these tapes available after so many years. You guys are doing a spectacular job and I know that it's all done voluntarily and takes an enormous amount of personal time. Mark, thanks for keeping me in mind yet again and please forward my thanks onto Martin, Karl and the group for me. Thank you all so much.

R081 contained the complete show of 15th March 1990 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/15_March_1990. THis was a pig to rip due to the constantly varying azimuth setting but I did my best to ensure that the Barbel session shone through.

Almost as much airtime for the Inspiral Carpets as John starts to go through their album Next up the 10th April 1990 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/09_April_1990 another complete show featuring a repeat of the first Ride session as featured in debit version on Mr Maudlin's most recent mixtape. Then jumping forward to the 12th April 1990 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/12_April_1990 and a repeat of the MC 900Ft Jesus, he only plays three of their session tracks but the fourth is available from the debut play on 1st March. Not quite complete as the first track cuts in and there may be a missing track before that. A few tracks from each show have previously been featured on Mike's Best Of Peel Vol 3 and as that looks like it was recorded in chronological order (unlike some later ones in the series) then some of the tracks can be fairly confidently ascribed to the missing show on 11th April. (Did you date your mixtapes Mike?) Many thanks to Rich as usual, and there are some fine links in there if anyone wants to add them in to the pages. Stuart From stuartb@...

It had 256mb of memory so barely got 2 albums on it, I wish I'd lept it, it was a real technological abomination On 31 January 2014 15:01, stephen phythian wrote: > > >It's not sad at all. I know of people who will only watch the recent 'Top of the Pops' repeats on old CRT televisions because they just don't feel right on modern flat screen digitals, it's all personal taste. For me, there's enough tape hiss and AM crackle in the old shows to remind me of the source material and the advantages of being able to carry (and share) on an ipod  more shows than you could ever resonably fit onto tape, far outweigh the aesthetics of having them on cassette. But you must do what you feel is right of course... > >Stephen > >From: "ukbongo@..." >To: peel@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Friday, 31 January 2014, 14:30 >Subject: [peel] Is it sad...? > > > >  >Before I found this wonderful group, I relied on my own, rather haphazard, collection of Peel on cassette tape. I tend to associate Uncle John with that venerable format and so, I have to admit, feel slightly at odds with a hard disc full of digital file shows (grateful though I am, of course). My pseudo confession is that I am contemplating transferring the entire Peel archive back to cassette where I'm sure it will sound 'right', having passed through the analogue filter.

Cassettes, largely, are no longer made. I did see one company, Phoenix, who produced audiophile Metal plus quality Chrome and very clean Ferrichrome on a limited edition basis, relatively recently, but I think they are now almost sold out. I don't think anyone else makes 'new' tapes so we now rely on old stock in warehouses and 'used' examples holding off-air recordings of Kajagoogoo to wipe and re-use. I've tried my best to grab a heap of Metal and Chrome tapes but, due to the relatively low bit rate of most recordings on MOO (understandable, I realise, because of the limited disc space), I wonder if they are pure overkill and maybe I should limit myself to TDK Ferrichromes or similar. Despite being surrounded by top notch digital equipment (and am even on the verge of buying an Astell & Kern AK120 - seen that?) I am rather a Luddite, preferring my tweaked Sony WM-D6C portable tape deck as my mobile music player (the gear favoured by journalists in the 80s but also containing guts that challenge a Nakamichi in terms of audiophile quality).

I've not played them in ages, but I do remember the metallic thunk midway through the Slits session.
